Manchin says he'll vote against For the People Act and digs in against eliminating filibuster

Without Manchin, the Dems lose WVA anyways. It'd be a lose lose for the Dems.

True. But all Manchin cares about is Manchin, and remaining a Senator for the forseable future.

Joe Manchin more than counters the Rino Rats like Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, etc. He is a man of conviction!

[sauropod]

It is, but Manchin is a serial liar. He misrepresents himself.

I still remember that campaign commercial he did, shooting at a congressional bill (I think it was Obamacare), declaring he was against it.

I do not trust him.

Guessing the mainstream media’s tone of coverage will be quite different than like John McCain saving Obamacare, huh?

Come on, MSNBC, he’s a brave maverick bucking his party for what he believes is right, correct?

Oh baloney.

[zencycler]

Excellent point!

West Virginia is like 70/30 R Now.

BULL$#!T

Voter registration as of April 2021

Republican.....37.80%
Democrat........35.64%
Uniffiliated.....22.35%

Party brands of office holders (R & D) are applied with a running iron.

Many of those “Unaffiliated” are recently (less than 10yrs) from the Rats.

[Paleo Pete]

Hmmm...must be up for reelection again.

[Vinnie]

I’ll wait and see. Xiden will sweeten the pot for his vote.

[sijay]

Don’t worry, Mitt will be there to reliably vote with the Democrats ... that’s what backstabbers do.

Exactly! And once Manchin is sure that there are enough sorry RINOa who will vote with the DEMS, he can then vote against his party and say he voted against the bill but the votes just weren’t there.
